Comparison September 2013/April 2015

She's a 2003 AP1, originally Silverstone grey but has been resprayed Mercedes Arctic White for some reason?

After a month of ownership the car had it's first visit to Hond-R's recently refurbished workshop yesterday to get some parts fitted

Now equipped with BC Coilovers, an Invidia Q3000 Exhaust and an AEM long arm intake
The car is totally transformed now mainly due to my stock exhaust being quite beaten up
So nice to hear the vtec crossover again

Also painted my hubs and callipers this morning

Next on the list is a Facelift front bumper and to choose some wheels

Love the colour, would look awesome with a matching front lip. I like black wheels on a white car but for some reason your wheels look to small. Just an optical illusion though

Wheels will be replaced soon
Once I've got the facelift front bumper I will see if I need a front lip too

This looks really good. Really fresh and clean looking.

I don't think it needs a facelift front bumper! Pre facelift is the winner always All in my humble opinion of course.

Like the black wheels and clean silver calipers!

Looks mint mate, just like your EK was, remember seeing that at a few Hond-R meets.

Wish mine was as mint as that! Drop me a PM if you fancy selling the wheels when you replace them

Ok so I now have a set of wheels on her

Found a set of white TE37's in 17x8.5 ET30, I was going to wait for some 9.5's to come along but I'm too impatient so bought these for now
Not in the best condition but look pretty nice on the car I think.

At the current ride height they don't catch at all on the stock arches, could roll/cut them and go lower but I'm pretty happy with how they sit

Comments/opinions welcome
